It was a general strike on March 29 in Spain, and further mobilizations were initiated by
the CNT-AIT from May 29 to June 15. Later in August, and now in September the CNT is
mobilizing. On September 26 there will be a 24 hour general strike in Basque Country and
Navarra in which the CNT-AIT has convened with other unions (ELA, LAB, ESK, CGT,
STEE-EILAS, Hiru y EHNE) and social movements. ---- In the rest of the state there has not
been possible to make a general strike call, by the refusal of the majority unions (CCOO
and UGT) to promote the strike, as they were forced to do on March 29. The CNT has called
a Day of Action in solidarity with the strike in the Basque Country and Navarra and in
defense of a general strike throughout the country.

The International Secretary of the CNT-AIT says in a call to the Secretariat and the IWA
Sections that: “We consider this day (26S) very important to gauge the chances of
exceeding the roadmap designed by the CCOO and UGT trade unions, who claim the government
commitment to a call for a referendum on the bailout and failing on organizing a social
consultation on it. CNT claims these are useless and delaying tactics about the necessary
general strike call.”
